| RC4WD 1.9 x 4.19 Tire to Wheel Pairing
Hello! I just picked up a set of RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler MT/R in the 1.9 x 4.19 variety. I'm trying to mount them on some erm, cheapie wheels from the ebay. My guess is I need to find a beadlock wheel with a wider inner barrel? Any wheel recommendations for the aforementioned MT/R's? https://store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Goodye...es_p_5651.html https://www.ebay.com/itm/392467409441 Thanks! |

The RC4WD Proline (Proline tires also notoriously difficult to mount on some wheels) clamp rings should make it a little easier. You want the wheel approximately that narrow so, when installed, the wheel is recessed behind the face of the tire. If you look at the RC4WD wheels they show those exact tires mounted to, they're effectively the same width. https://store.rc4wd.com/T-Runner-Cla...ls_p_5588.html Wide wheels can make your tires contact patch more square but they can also just "balloon" the sides of the tires out. (Depending on the tires construction and intended shape). You would also start to lose the small amount of protection the tire provides to the outer perimeter and face of the wheel.

I know this is on a different model but my Bully 2 build, the RC4WD wheels and tires were the ultimate hardest to assemble. I am still battling the foam being twisted. Once they are lined up properly the more narrow 2.2 is nice and very durable.

I sincerely appreciate your reply! The bigger bead must be the hold up. These the clamps? https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/rc4z-s0846.htm |

With those eBay wheels being made for a "universal" fit, the space between the internal clamp ring and the front/back half of the wheel probably just isn't big enough for an RC4WD tire. They should be able mount to most tires without issue. RC4WD worked around this (compatibility between their wheels and Proline's/someone else's tires) by making those Proline compatible clamp rings. They are just slightly narrower and have the slots cut slightly deeper to increase the tolerance of the bead channel when assembled. For future reference (just from my experience, mind you) you want to look out for RC4WD, ProLine and Pitbull tires. They often have large or oddly shaped beads that can make it difficult to impossible to mount them onto wheels of a different brand.
